Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller recommitted the federal government Wednesday to its goal of lifting all long-term drinking water advisories on First Nations reserves but didn t offer a timeline for completing the work.
With 58 active advisories remaining in 38 communities, the Liberals will miss a self-imposed deadline this month for lifting all long-term advisories.
Miller said that ensuring access to clean tap water for all First Nations communities remains a top government priority.
